It is pretty easy to make minor corrections to the documentation
through the GitHub repo. I made such a correction myself to a
glaring documentation error recently. My first ever open source
contribution, but hopefully many more to come in the future. I
often thought, like yourself, that improving the D documentation
would be a good way to contribute. Having a forum to vet ideas
would be very nice.
I find the D documentation is sorely lacking in example code, and
high level descriptions of modules (thinking more of Phobos here)
and having a forum to say "Here is some 'description/example
code' I want to add to the Phobos docs", would be a good way for
less experienced developers to start contributing. Such a forum
would be a good way to get some feedback before getting to the
point of pushing your changes to the Repo.
